Nissan Xtrail Owners: Questions and stuff

got the following bits of info from a friend from NB/TR (thank you yahzee!):

1. if you are in 2 wheel mode & the wheels are spinning w/o traction for a certain duration, the computer senses this & shifts the xty to all wheel mode.

2. the 4-wheel mode of the xty is good up to 36 kph. if you went beyond 36 kph, the computer shifts your xty to 2-wheel mode. when you slow down to 36 kph & below, the computer shifts back to 4-wheel drive mode.

you have reason to be proud of your xty. it is the mini-suv who topped a series of test in its category. the closest is the escape & tribute. 1 of the test is sort of a climbing test. in an incline of 50 degress w/ a full load of passengers plus load, the xty was the only 1 to pass the test.

Matibay din naman. Tignan ninyo yung ilalim. Meron support frame to stifen the body.

tama kayo Zeagle and JohnnyD! mararamdaman mo talaga ang lakas ng sipa ng makina sa pag-akyat... at nung dumaan ako doon sa rough road na yon, naisip ko lang na wala pa sigurong nakakapunta doon ng ibang car on the same category. meron akong nakita sa internet na mga SUV 4x4 ang dala nila papunta doon, kaya proud talga ako.

since holiday ngayon, nilinis ko ang xty ko at ang dami ko pang nakuhang mga bato at putik galing sa ambuklao dam, merong akong pix na kinuha with my xty sa ambuklao dam cguro next time makapa-upload/post din ako ng pix.

kaya be proud of your xtrail!

Is anyone using Mobil 1 oil in their Xtrail? What viscosity/ grade?
I just placed Mobil 1 10w30 in the 2.0L Xtrail. It feels lighter, more responsive. Hope i get better fuel mileage too.
BTW, the Nis-syn 15w40 oil is made by Conoco, equivalent to their Power D 15w40 which is NOT a synthetic oil. But a high grade mineral oil rated for both gas and diesel.

Why is it being advertised as synthetic oil?
